Alien vs. Predator

Alien vs. Predator (often abbreviated AvP) is a science fiction series spanning several forms of media. The series is a cross-over between two popular movie series about extraterrestrial beings: Alien (whose aliens are known as "Xenomorphs") and Predator (whose aliens are known as the "Yautja"); in AvP, the two species are at war with one another. The idea for such a cross-over is often thought to have originated from a supposed Xenomorph skull seen as a Predator's trophy in Predator 2, but Dark Horse Comics published their first Alien vs. Predator story in November 1989, a year before the November 1990 release of Predator 2.

The Alien vs. Predator universe currently consists of several computer/video games, some comics, and a movie.
